I am not able to install (the development version of) BioConductor. I moved my office across the campus to this problem may be a local.

I have (basically) the same error. If you have followed the mailing list you will notice that the website is being moved at the moment. I am guessing that we have some problems obtaining the BioC copy of CRAN. Since rankProduct is a standard R package and since (ok I am guessing) the BioC version of CRAN is do, install.packages2 cannot find rankProduct. Solution: 1) wait 'till it get fixed 2) use install.packages instead as it will connect directly to CRAN. /Kasper On Wed, Feb 09, 2005 at 05:14:49PM -0800, Malard, Joel M wrote: > I am not able to install (the development version of) BioConductor. > I moved my office across the campus to this problem may be a local. > > Thanks for any pointer, > > Joel Malard > > > install.packages2("rankProduct") > Warning message: > cannot open: HTTP status was `404 Not Found' > Note: http://www.bioconductor.org/CRANrepository does not seem to have a > valid repository, skipping > Warning message: > Failed to read replisting at http://www.bioconductor.org/CRANrepository > in: getReplisting(repURL, repFile, method = method) > Note: Using download type: Source > Unable to locate the requested package(s) in any known repository > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor -- Kasper Daniel Hansen, Research Assistant Department of Biostatistics, University of Copenhagen

Hi Joel, As Kasper guessed, we are having some difficulties recreating a CRAN repository suitable for use with reposTools. So you are experiencing a "real" error that is on our end. We hope to have this fixed by the end of the week. However, you will still have a hard time getting the rankProduct package. This package has been removed from the Bioc repository per the request of the author. See the message in the list archive subject: [BioC] Error in rankProduct package on Feb 8.

Sorry for the delay. It seems like the problem is sorted out. On my system at least, two metadata packages (zebrafish and xenopuslaevis) are needed by annotate but not loaded by getBioC(); so annotate fails to install and then the affy package fails too. Another possible problem is that I was using R 2.0.1. All works well now that the two metadata packages are installed using the patched version of R 2.0.1. I could be that only the two packages are necessary.
